Here comes the Assiniboine
But city says
it’s ready to
handle rush
of water
BY JILLIAN AUSTIN
The city has no intention to
evacuate residents or businesses
due to the rising Assiniboine
River, but officials remain on
high alert.
A general evacuation plan
will be provided through doorto-door drops to the properties
in the potentially affected areas
north and south of the river —
just in case.
“Just general information for
people in those areas, so they
understand that there is a plan,
should something bad happen
and we need to get people out
of the area,” said Brian Kayes,
the city’s director of risk and
emergency management.
Also as a precaution, a special
evacuation route will be created
behind the Corral Centre on
Cater Drive. The fence will be
opened to allow traffic to travel
north if necessary.
“It’s only for emergency
travel,” Kayes said. “Again, just
as an extreme precaution
should that be necessary.”
The river as of Thursday
morning was measured at
1,175.93 feet above sea level,
measured at First Street — up
roughly six inches since the day
before.
The
projected
peak,
according to the province, is
1,182.5 to 1,183.3 feet. The
historic flood of 2011 saw the

river peak at 1,182.89 feet.
Kayes said with all the work
that has been done, raising
the dikes and fortifying
domestic sewer systems, he
believes the city can handle the
water that is coming Brandon’s
way.
“The evacuations that took
place (in 2011), for the people
on the south side of the river,
were the result of one of our
manholes being flooded with
river water and then stressing
out the domestic sewer system,”
he said. “That whole system
has been fortified now; we’re
confident that that will not be
an issue.”

RM of Edward damage ‘10 times worse’ than 2011
BY GRAEME BRUCE
A small rural municipality tucked
away in the corner pocket of
Manitoba is nearly an island unto
itself and has seen exponentially more
damage than in 2011.
The drowning RM of Edward has
been in a state of emergency since
June 5 and the latest wrath of flooding
is fraying the final nerves of its
approximately 600 residents.
“It was $1.2 million in 2011,” said
chief administrative officer Lisa
Pierce. “This is 10 times worse.
“This area will be uninhabitable if
this keeps up.”
There are only two ways into
Pierson, the RM’s only village: A
delicate and treacherous back road left
open only for a handful of volunteers
to make grocery and medicine runs
to Melita; and a makeshift two-plank
bridge residents are told to use only if
necessary.
At least four of the municipality’s
nine bridges have been destroyed (not
including provincial roadways), one
of which was rebuilt in 2011 to
accommodate the area’s increased oil
industry traffic.
“It costs $500,000 to a $1 million to
build bridges,” Pierce said, and the
tiny local government has an annual
budget of about $2.5 million.
Fuel sales in the RM were cut off
on Tuesday to conserve it for
emergency vehicles. While access for
ambulances remains a concern, the
province announced on July 1 it was
providing Westman with an
emergency helicopter stationed in
Brandon.
Area stores have taken advantage
of the dire situation by hiking up
prices of equipment such as
generators and pumps.
“It’s very disappointing that people
out there would choose to take
advantage of a disaster like this,”
Pierce said.
Melita and Deloraine are two of the
commercial centres for the sparse
people of Edward.

“
“ (Mini U) is helping
a lot of young people
enjoy education and
maybe even help
them determine
some new career
choices when they
try different
courses.”
— Nancy Stanley
This summer marks Mini
U’s 30th anniversary in
Brandon. Director Nancy
Stanley has been a part of the
hands-on learning summer
camp since the beginning and
said it serves a definite need in
Brandon.
Since its inception, more
than 16,000 youth have taken
part in Mini U programs.
“There’s a market, there’s a
need out there for sure,”
Stanley said. “A lot more
people work, so they need
someone and they don’t want
just daycare.
“We offer meaningful
learning activities.”
So far, 792 students have
registered for the ages five to
15 summer camp that began
on June 30 and will run till
Aug. 22. Stanley said
enrolment has been steady
over the last few years.
“It’s helping a lot of young
people enjoy education and
maybe even help them
determine some new career
choices when they try different
courses,” she said. “It’s really
great to see the joy and smiles
on their faces.”
Some of the popular
programs being offered this
summer from the nearly 60
from which to choose include
archery, minecraft and a Horse
Sense Camp, Stanley said.
“They get a chance to learn
all the parts of the horse, the
riding, safety, a whole host of
things,” she said. “It’s just
great.”
Mini U is a cost-recovery,
not-for-profit organization that
relies on registration fees,
federal and provincial grants
as well as grants from private
and local organizations.

TAKE FROM ONE TO GIVE TO THE OTHER
Perhaps the Brandon city manager could give up some of his very healthy salary to compensate for the
increase in the firefighters’ wage increase. My taxes are going up but my wages are not keeping up! So hopefully
we could find cost savings from some of these city employees who are very well paid to pay for our firefighters.

TIME TO FREEZE THEM OUT
Well, with the wages that our city employees are receiving and our never-ending tax increases, I think now is
the time for our mayor and city council to implement a “wage tax freeze” for the next two years. Especially for
the fire department and police department. They are a little ridiculous compared with other wages around town.
NO NEED FOR ARBITRATION BOARD
It's about time to get rid of our “arbitration board.” It only sees that the “city’s top wage earners” keep getting
above normal wage increases. Let our firefighters apply elsewhere, if they will. There are lots of firefighters
graduating every year, right here in the city of Brandon.
WE NEED A SIGN
Can we please have crosswalk signage or a four-way stop put in at the intersection of Lakeview Drive,
Aberdeen Avenue and 34th Street before someone is seriously injured?
CORPORATE GREED OR HOG SHORTAGE … GOOD OBSERVATION!
The initial story, in my view, is a pretense by the Pork Council for building more barns, without the cost of
managing their manure properly. Although pork prices have shot up 25 per cent (bacon), Maple Leaf had to
make some money adjustments to set up the financial books. One day off a month was the easy way to do it,
and the province gets the blame. A saving of about $1 million over a three-month period.

Valley Road. The city was
concerned about a potential
traffic accident compromising
the sandbag dike so the

said. “If it comes up about
four more feet, it will go across
that road.”
Barb Neudorf, owner of
Grand Valley Strawberry
Farm, said they “lost it all” in
2011. At that time, water was
a few feet deep in some areas
of their property.
“Most people out here are
pretty resilient,” she said. “Our
primary concern was making
sure people got their medication
they needed and food.”
Aileen Tucker, who lives
about 14 and a half kilometres
from Pierson, spent Monday
calling as many people as she
could within the RM to arrange
for volunteers to ferry
medication
and
other
necessities from Melita into the
near-stranded area.
“We’re doing what we have
to do to get through this,” she
said, “but we’re not feeling
we’re getting a lot of outside
help.”
Meanwhile, as water from

waterways,
evacuation orders for most
residents of Virden were lifted
yesterday with the exception of
8th Avenue North, where
special permission is required

The town is telling people to

In the RM of Wallace, the
news is that the area from the
Hamlet of Kirkella to Road 162
stays as a voluntary evacuation
on very high alert. Evacuation
orders are over in areas south
of Virden pending access to
homes.
“The panic is starting to settle
down somewhat, but now
there’s more of an anxious
feeling.”
There’s also anger. There’s
anger toward the province for
not listening to years of pleas
for long-term flood mitigation
in the area, and anger toward
Saskatchewan’s illegal drainage
issue widely considered to be
the main cause of southwest
Manitoba’s persistent flooding.
“We’re not looking just to get
a program to fix to where we
were, it’s quite clear the
landscape has changed,” she
said. “We need more. We need
mitigation efforts now, we can
just keep putting Band-Aids
on.”
More than 60 people have
fled from the area, even though
the RM never issued
mandatory evacuation orders
and between 10 and 25 per cent
of the area’s crops are likely
dead in the water, one more
major blow to the ravaged area.

A permanent dike is quickly
being constructed in an effort
to protect properties on
Veterans Way from a repeat of
the 2011 flood devastation.
RM of Cornwallis Reeve
Reg Atkinson said he is
particularly concerned about
Grand Valley Strawberry
Farm and Evergreen Valley
Nursery.
“The idea is to stop the
flooding that destroyed the
farm and the evergreen
nurseries in 2011 because the
water is projected to be the
same height, so we figured we
better take permanent action,”
Atkinson said.
Work began on the dike
Thursday, and Atkinson said
the plan is to raise the road
three to four feet. The dike is
located west of the RM of
Cornwallis office, near the
river along Veterans Way.
“We have to get to that
height,” he said. “In 2011, we
tried to sandbag but we lost,
and we had to walk away and
leave it. So this time we’re
going to build it, we’ve got
machines there, we’re packing
it, we’re making a permanent
dike.”
The work needs to get done
as quickly as possible, as the
water continues to rise.
Atkinson said they hope to
have it completed by the end
of today.
“(Wednesday) night it went
dependent on the amount of
rainfall we get in the next little
while, so if we start getting
rains again, the river is likely
to stay up.”
As the Brandon Sun
reported Thursday, Manitoba
Infrastructure
and
Transportation will not be
protecting First Street. A
mutual decision between the
city and province was made to
concentrate efforts on 18th
Street and Highway 110, due
to the high cost and effort in
attempting to protect First
Street.
“It’s not like that permanent
dike, there’s still risk in putting
sandbags up, so we felt

“We didn’t open for picking
at all that year,” she said. “We
had nothing to winter over, so
that was a substantial loss.”
Neudorf said she isn’t sure
if they’ve fully recovered from
2011, but are back in a good
spot.
Now, with the sharp spike in
Assiniboine River levels
expected in the next week or
so, Neudorf said they are
concerned about their crops
once again.
“Building this dike, that
certainly helps, that’s a huge
relief,” she said. “We just can
hope for the best.”

Sioux Valley sandbagging after highway closed
BY LINDSEY ENNS
Floodwaters have closed a
section of Highway 21 near
Sioux Valley Dakota Nation,
forcing residents to start
sandbagging to protect homes.
A two-kilometre stretch of
the highway leaving Sioux
Valley is now under water,
according to the community’s
flood co-ordinator, Nathan
Hall, who recommends those
entering and leaving the
community go through Rivers.
“You can just hear the water
flowing over the road now, it’s
pretty loud,” Sioux Valley Chief
Vince Tacan said Thursday
while en route to a meeting in
Winnipeg with Aboriginal
Affairs
and
Northern
Development Canada.
“Water has gone up a little
more, so it’s similar to 2011
levels.”
By yesterday afternoon,
community members and

heavy rainfall last weekend. (Tim Smith/Brandon Sun)
volunteers were busy filling
sandbags to protect low-lying
homes. Tacan said the water
was moving in from the west
down the Assiniboine River.
Tacan said with a section of
Highway 21 closed, it now
takes nearly an hour to get to
Brandon, the closest major
centre besides Virden.
“Time is critical, especially if
there’s an emergency, so we’re
concerned about the health and
safety of our members,” he
said.
“I’ve always said we need
to do something with
(Highway 21) — either widen
that bridge or raise it up or do
something because that road
doesn’t just serve Sioux Valley.”
Tacan said out of the 330
homes on the reserve, 45 are
either damaged or flooded after
last weekend’s storm, which
dumped nearly 100 millimetres
of rain on the community in
roughly 24 hours.
“It was a double whammy
with the water and the wind,”
Tacan said, adding they are still
waiting to receive a final
damage assessment.
On Sunday, the community
was forced to close its health
centre due to water damage, but
health
services
have
temporarily been set up inside
the wellness centre.
About 40 evacuees on the
north side of the community
returned home yesterday after
their hydro was turned back on,
leaving roughly 100 evacuees
still staying in Brandon.
Tacan said they’ve also
started to evacuate a few
residents with medical issues to
Brandon as a precautionary
measure.
“Other than that, we’re
taking a wait-and-see approach
… we hope the water doesn’t
hang around too long as it did
in 2011.”
By Thursday evening,
Manitoba Infrastructure and
Transportation reported that 72
sections of provincial roads
have been affected by heavy
rainfall and some roads are
either closed or marked with
caution.

Hard-hit farmers face years of pain
BY CHINTA PUXLEY AND
JENNIFER GRAHAM
WINNIPEG — Water levels
appear to be stabilizing in most
of
Manitoba
and
Saskatchewan after widespread
flooding, but fear of massive
damage is growing, especially
among farmers.
A soggy spring prevented
many farmers in Manitoba
from getting crops in the
ground. It’s estimated some
400,000
hectares
went
unseeded.
Doug Chorney, head of
Keystone
Agricultural
Producers, said the recent
torrential rain means farmers
could lose this year’s income if
seeded crops are wiped out and
more.
“On a farm, when you get a
disaster like this, you lose your
home, you lose your potential
for income for at least a year
and you may have to dig into
your savings to finance
recovery,” Chorney said
Thursday.
“It’s significant, very
significant. It’s going to be felt
for many years in rural
communities.”
Adding to the stress,
Chorney said Manitoba is
activating the Portage diversion
which funnels water from the
Assiniboine River into Lake
Manitoba. That has the
potential to flood even more
farmland and weaken dikes
that protect farms.
Farmers in southeast
Saskatchewan got 93 cent of
the land seeded and 97 per cent
was seeded in east-central
regions. But some of those
areas were hardest hit by the
storm and got more than 200
millimetres of rain.
Shannon Friesen, with
Saskatchewan Agriculture, said
producers are pumping out
their yards and trying to help
any livestock left stranded by
the flood.
“They’re getting anxious
about it and of course the
worry is high really. Things just
aren’t good,” said Friesen.
“Crops can only withstand
being under water a certain

amount of time.”
Norm Hall, president of
Agriculture
Producers
Association of Saskatchewan,
said it’s too soon to assess how
badly farmers were hurt.
“It got really ugly in a hurry,”
Hall said. “It’s the gamut of
farms and everybody’s being
hit.”
At least 40,000 hectares of
crops have been affected so far,
but it could easily go above
that, he said. Farmers are also
concerned the floodwater has
damaged roads and grain
storage bins.
The torrential rain and flash
floods prompted more than
100
communities
in
Saskatchewan and Manitoba
to declare a state of emergency.
The situation appeared to be
improving in Saskatchewan.
Water started to recede in
communities Thursday and
move through the river systems.
The
villages
of
Gainsborough and Carievale

Crown says accused spat at, threatened cops
BY IAN HITCHEN
A man who assaulted his
girlfriend called police on himself
and then harassed and threatened
officers, the Crown attorney alleges.
During a bail hearing in Brandon
provincial court on Thursday,
Crown attorney Deidre Badcock
outlined the events of May 30.
Badcock said a man on the Sioux
Valley Dakota Nation called the
dispatcher for the Dakota Ojibway
Police Service and said he’d
assaulted his girlfriend.
He said he was at his mom’s
home, had guns and would wait for
officers and shoot them when they
arrived.
But when constables got to the
home, they found the man asleep in
a basement bedroom with a baseball
bat by his side. Police also learned
that the intoxicated suspect had
smashed the window of his
girlfriend’s van.
During his arrest, he spat at two
constables and told another that he
was going to cut his head off.
He then apologized for spitting,
but told officers he had a
communicable disease that would
ruin their lives.
He also told officers that he knew
they lived in Brandon and would get
them. He should have beat his
girlfriend worse to make it worth his
while, he added.
The allegations against the
accused haven’t been proven in
court.
Levi George Ross, 42, is charged
with assault, two counts of
assaulting a peace officer, uttering
threats and mischief.
Judge John Combs consented to
release Ross, who will live in
Brandon while on bail. His bail
conditions include an order that he
not attend Sioux Valley, except for
court appearances.
Ross will appear in court next in
Sioux Valley on Aug. 13.
Man gets discharge
for assaulting stepson
A man who assaulted his
stepson without touching him
has been given a conditional
discharge.
Samuel Scott Henderson,
34, pleaded guilty to assault in
Brandon provincial court on
Thursday.
Crown attorney Yaso Mathu
described how Henderson and
his 14-year-old stepson were
arguing on Feb. 7, 2013.
During the heated dispute,
Henderson lunged at the teen
with his hands up to try to
scare him.
That startled the youth, who
fell back and hit his head on a
door. The impact smashed a
window in the door.
The teen had no visible cuts
or injuries, but felt dizzy and
had a headache.
Mathu told court that while
Henderson didn't touch his
stepson, his intimidating lunge
still qualified as assault under
the Criminal Code.
Judge John Combs imposed
a
one-year
conditional
discharge with a condition that
Henderson take parenting
counselling.

Journey to Churchill exhibit makes big splash
WINNIPEG — Hudson,
meet Hudson. Aurura, meet
Aurora.
Thursday’s opening of the
highly anticipated Journey to
Churchill exhibit gave two
young humans, and two young
polar bears, the chance to make
acquaintances.
Hudson Ellis, 5, was able to
see Hudson the bear in the
Churchill Coast portion of the
exhibit. Aurura McDonald, 7,
came all the way from the real
Churchill to see Aurora the bear
at the $90-million, four-hectare
exhibit.
“Wow,” said Hudson when
he saw the female bears Aurora
and Kaska swimming and
diving around him as he and his
parents, Delaney and Jon, and
brother Logan, 3, walked
through the acrylic tunnel.
“I like her,” said Aurura, after
seeing the female bears in their
aquatic playground. Aurura and
her brother Adam, 5, arrived just
after midnight Thursday after
their own journey from
Churchill. They arrived with
their mother, Gloria McDonald.
Aurura and Aurora share a
similar name after Aurura and
Avery Finlay of Churchill’s
Duke of Marlborough School
chose it in a naming contest held
by the zoo at their school.

Studies
OTTAWA — Two new
reports paint a troubling
portrait of post-military life for
the
country’s
soldiers,
suggesting that for many the
return to the civilian world is
marked by health concerns, a
sense of social isolation and
less cash.
The Statistics Canada
surveys, released in tandem
Thursday, present a challenge
to the Harper government,
which has staked a lot of its
political
reputation
on
supporting the troops and has
poured tens of millions of extra
dollars into both the veterans
affairs and defence budgets to
help ex-service members
achieve a soft landing in their
new lives.
The Pre- and Post-Release
Income survey and the Health
and Well-Being of Canadian
Armed Forces Veterans reports
examine the quality of life and
financial burdens of the
country’s former service
members over a 15-year period,
starting in 1998.
The income survey, which
measured to 2011, looked at
the tax and Veterans Affairs
records of 70,771 ex-soldiers
and found that both regular
and
reserve
members
experienced an income decline
on shedding their uniforms.
In the case of wounded
soldiers released on medical
grounds, the drop is steep. It
could amount to as much as 20
per cent.
The Health and Well-Being
of Canadian Armed Forces
Veterans, which covered the
year 2013, found that when
asked, regular force veterans
rated their health more poorly
than the general population,
their “sense of community
belonging” as lower and they
were “less often satisfied with
life than most Canadians.”
It found that almost a quarter
of those leaving the military
reported both physical and
mental disorders.
According to the survey, 13
per cent of departing full-time
members were reported to have
suffered from post-traumatic
stress, roughly in line with
previous studies, and 17 per
cent had some kind of mood
disorder, including depression.

Aurora and Kaska splashed
in their own pool for the first
time and astounded visitors who
could see them swimming
overhead as they walked
through the 21.3-metre-long Sea
Ice Passage, an acrylic tunnel
that is three metres wide and 2.5
metres high. It’s inside the
Gateway to the Arctic building.
Hudson and the other male
bear, Storm, live separately
while the two female bears
usually are together.
Kaska was orphaned when
her mother was shot by
authorities after two people were
attacked by a polar bear in
Churchill on Nov. 1.
“These two females and
Storm, one of the males, would
have been euthanized in
Churchill in years gone by,” said
Don Peterkin, chief operations
officer for the Assiniboine Park
Conservancy. He said one of the
females has tripled her weight
and the other has quadrupled
her weight since arriving last
October.
Hudson was born in captivity
in the Toronto Zoo before
arriving at the Assiniboine Park
Zoo in January 2013. Storm
lived in the wild the longest. It
is estimated he was about three
years old when he arrived last
October after biting a man in
Churchill.
Peterkin said the exhibit gives
visitors a chance to see animals
in habitats that are as close to
natural as possible. Visitors also
learn about educational aspects
such as climate change,
conservation and wildlife
preservation.
“We wanted to create
something that was a signature
exhibit,” Peterkin said. “There’s
animals instead of fences, and
a variety of landscapes intended
to represent what exists in and
around the town of Churchill
such as boreal forest, tundra,
rocky cliffs and pools of fresh,
filtered water. Surrounding each
of the three parts of the exhibit
— Wapusk Lowlands, Gateway
to the Arctic and Churchill coast
— are interpretive signage and
in some areas there are
interactive displays and audiovisual components.
The exhibit also includes a
360-degree domed theatre called
the Aurora Borealis Theatre that
shows a short film about the
Churchill area, wildlife and the
seasons through the eyes of an
indigenous family.
The Journey to Churchill
exhibit was built with $34
million from the province, $28.1
million from the city and
private-sector support from
individuals,
families,
foundations and corporate
donors.
The zoo is offering a discount

nothing like this anywhere in the

More costly
flooding for
province
Three years after southern Manitobans battled a one-in300-year flood, the southwest corner is once again sodden
after a lengthy storm system dumped record precipitation
on the Prairies.
As a result, hundreds of Manitobans were forced to
evacuate their homes this week, and 41 municipalities had
declared states of emergency due to the flooding.
And while the floodwaters have gone down in some
communities, such as Virden, the provincial government
expects water levels on the Assiniboine River, and many
other creeks and rivers to surge with water runoff coming
in from Saskatchewan, which also got drenched last
weekend.
In Brandon, those floodwaters along the Assiniboine are
expected to be near or exceed the 2011 flood level.
We do not yet know the full extent of the flooding, as
the crest is only expected to occur later next week. But
already more than 78 roads have been closed or affected.
As we reported in Thursday’s paper, in the RM of
Wallace alone, conservative estimates suggest damage will
be in the $2 million range, with 380 kilometres of road
closed.
While the flood of 2014 is a different animal than the
double surge of water that struck parts of Westman three
years ago, there is no doubt that this latest flood will
further strain the provincial government’s financial
situation. Indeed, ever since the flood of 2011, Manitoba’s
financial books have been awash in red ink.
The 2011 flood came with a staggering price tag, which
soared well above a billion dollars. And though a large
portion of that was supposed to be picked up by the
federal government, Manitoba ran a record $999-million
deficit in 2011-12 because of it.
According to the province’s 2011 Flood Review Task
Force report, published in April 2013, the 2011 flood
affected 154 provincial roads and highways, 500
municipal roads, 73 damaged highway provincial
structures and 500 municipal bridges. As of the date of the
report, the estimated value of repairs to bridge sites on the
provincial highway network impacted by flooding in the
Souris and Assiniboine basins alone was $70 million.
That particular flood year impacted residents, farmers
and business across the province with damage to and
closures of flooded roads and bridges. Many farmers
couldn’t access farmland, and those who could were
forced to take alternate routes to get to their land.
Still many more were either unable to plant a crop or
had a planted field drowned out.
The province estimates that at least three million acres
of cultivated farmland was left unseeded in 2011, a
situation that caused additional headaches for producers
in the area the following spring. And in many locations,
some parts of the southwest corner have never fully
recovered from the 2011 flood.
Keep in mind, the bridge that connected Coulter and
Waskada on Highway 251 only opened to vehicle traffic
again in March of this year, after the original structure was
destroyed by flooding in 2011.
We also note that three years after one of the worst
floods in the province’s history, there were still nearly
2,000 flood evacuees out of their homes earlier this year.
They only returned home in April, but not before the price
tag for housing evacuees topped $80 million.
In the wake of that flood, Manitobans have seen user
fees go up and their taxes rise significantly. Government
officials have defended the province’s PST increase from
seven to eight per cent as a means to — in part — help pay
for flood-related infrastructure damage, much of which
still required completion.
Though the final damage estimate for 2014 won’t be
tallied for weeks, if not months, we fear what it will do to
the province’s bottom line.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sioux Valley residents
living under dictatorship
Re: “Land Issues Key For Sioux Valley”
(Saturday, June 21, 2014).
As “Concerned Citizens of Sioux
Valley” we would very much like to
respond to the above-mentioned article
published in your newspaper. The article
lacks the total picture of what is really
going on in Sioux Valley and gives a rather
one-sided and rosy picture of selfgovernment and the success and/or
misfortunate story of the chief. The people
of Sioux Valley are living under a
dictatorship when it comes to the practice
of governance in the community and there
are certain practices which need to be
brought to question.
One of the biggies which is often lacking
in the mode of operation is the need for
consultation with the people. Sometimes
there is even a lack of communication with
shared information at the council level.
Some councillors are not even aware as to
what goes on in the chief ’s inner circle. To
a greater extent, the band members are all
in the dark with what is happening with
the council. It appears that the chief may
be seeking entire control of the information
as well as the finances of the band. As
chief, he is the only signing authority for
cheques issued by the band. As such, there
appears to be no accountability or
transparency to all band members.
Band meetings just don’t exist in this kind
of operation. While the chief has been said
to state that he doesn’t like band meetings
because he doesn’t like being yelled at,
there are other bands who have chiefs who
listen regardless of the yelling or whispers.
Isn’t this the job of the elected chief ?
Moreover, the decision to acquire 80 acres
of land for transfer to off-reserve on the
main highway, has not, in the least, been
approved by the electorate of the band.
The second is the lack of abiding by the
Sioux Valley Constitution, which is our
supreme law. In essence, this document
received ratification by a majority vote of
the band and was also ratified by both the
federal and provincial governments. This
document, being of utmost significance
and importance, is simply not being
followed by the chief in his mode of
operation.
Where is the “Tiospaye,” or family
representatives, who are supposed to be
part of governance? And, we understand
that this group, along with the council and
the people were to establish the laws for
Sioux Valley. The “Kunshis,” or
grandmothers, represent the people who
are standing up for this constitution to be
followed. Instead, the Kunshis were twice
locked out of a self-government building
where they were to meet. This is simply
not freedom of peaceful assembly. When
the Kunshis tried to meet at the church,
the power was shut down for the facility.
Moreover, the constitution specifically
states that there were to be at least four
band meetings per year. We just haven’t
seen any in the years that the present chief
was elected. It would appear at this point
that the whole band system is run by the
chief, his brother councillor and whichever
councillor/s they may pull in for support.
We would say, that with the existing trend,
the band is operating illegally, since it does
not follow the constitution.
It states that “any law of SVDN
government which is inconsistent with the
provisions of the constitution, is to the
extent of the inconsistency, of no force or
effect and may be challenged as such.”
Shall we determine that the present
practices of Sioux Valley’s chief is
inconsistent and of no force or effect too?
Thirdly, there seems to be a power grab
and vested control for the existing finances
and control of decisions in programs for
extending favours to supporters. In this
atmosphere of control, the chief appears
to be degrading and intimidating certain
community members when they speak to
correct a flawed system. This does not
represent the type of character trait we
would like to see in our leaders. Leaders
ought to be compassionate, caring,
humble, understanding and providing
equal and just treatment to all.
Further, while there is a housing
committee, their existence means nothing,
especially when the chief is allowed to
override any decision they make at who
gets which house. It seems that he also has
power in council to distribute whatever
portfolio to whomever at his own
discretion. He and brother councillor
appear to hold the major portfolios with
the less influential ones to others. Is this
the making of good self-governance or the
making of a dictatorship which has its
future in self-defeatism?
If self-government is to be a better system
than we’ve experienced in the past, please
let the practices demonstrate this. In
viewing this article and the mode of
operation which exits, we are of the
opinion that an operational policy is
drastically required for finances,
administration, governance, programs,
hiring and firing and other areas of
operation. Self-government does not exist,
but self-gain does.
In view of the present system of
operations, the Kunshis of SVDN are
taking a stand that:
1. The leaders of Sioux Valley abide by
the constitution and,
2. The people’s voices be heard by the
chief and council, both on and off-reserve,
and consulted frequently, and that,
3. Corrections be made to the present
dictatorial system of operation.
We further urge all community members
that this is your community and your
money. Be informed as to what is
happening. Stand up for your rights and
freedoms. We must stand united for selfgovernment to work for the betterment of
the community and not just for a few
individuals. We must ensure that the future
generations will benefit on the decisions
we make today.

‘Deliver Us From Evil’ effective mix of crime, horror
audience. “22 Jump Street,”
starring the inspired comic duo
of Jonah Hill and Channing
Tatum, is a sequel, and movie
sequels are indeed often worse
(especially when, as the chief
also points out, the budget’s
bigger the second time around).
Self-referential jokes aside,
things aren’t worse the second
time around for Hill, Tatum
and directors Phil Lord and
Christopher Miller. It’s fine to
make fun of sequels — and this
movie does, all the way to a
fabulous ending-credits bit that
steals the film — when you
know you’ve made a pretty
darned good one yourself.
HHH
CAPITOL THEATRE
Deliver Us From Evil
(Thriller, 14A, 118 minutes). A
serial-killer mystery in which the
culprit turns out to be one of
Satan’s
minions,
Scott
Derrickson’s “Deliver Us From
Evil” adapts the detective genre
to an exorcism tale that is very
serious about the prospect of
demonic possession. Though
based on claims made by reallife NYPD officer-turnedparanormal investigator Ralph
Sarchie (played here by Eric
Bana), the picture is stolen by a
fictional character — a
composite religious figure played
with a predictable level of
smoulder by “Carlos” star Edgar
Ramirez. More esthetically
coherent if less frightening than
the director’s 2012 hit “Sinister,”
the pic has a shot at surpassing
that outing commercially by
virtue of its appeal to devout
Catholics. That audience will
find “Evil” very respectful of
their faith, though its nods to
religion are genre-appropriate
and never preachy enough to
alienate the average horror fan.
Sarchie, a cop who covers the
South Bronx with partner Butler
(Joel McHale), is proud of an
internal “radar” that steers him
away from mundane radio calls
and toward the juicy cases. But
an incident in which a deranged
mother threw her toddler into the
Bronx Zoo’s lion pit is juicier
than usual, with a mysterious,
blood-stained
bystander
disrupting the investigation
before vanishing. Still, Sarchie is
ready to write the mother off as
a garden-variety psycho even
when a Jesuit priest, Ramirez’s
Mendoza, shows up to insist on
a more complicated explanation.
While the supernatural side of
the film suffers a flaw or two —
continued references to The
Doors are superfluous and
sometimes chuckle-inducing —
its central conflict works.
Ramirez, shaggy enough to be
the Serpico of exorcists but
exuding calm wisdom instead of
obsessive determination, makes
faith look cool. His seriousness
enables the movie’s desire to dig
into the mechanics of the
climactic exorcism — though
Sean Harris, drooling and
growling and threatening as the
possessed man, deserves credit
as well. Derrickson’s FX crew
careens along the dividing line
between excitement and silly
bombast, conjuring hurricanelike
forces
and
gory
transformations while the holy
man attempts to rescue an
innocent mortal from his
otherworldly tormentors. Not
rated by The Associated Press.
Tammy (Comedy, PG, 96
minutes). Meet Tammy. Boy, is
she a mess. Angry, profane and
aggressive, then suddenly shy
and sweet. Sometimes she’s
funny, sometimes totally not. She
can’t figure out what she wants
to do or be, or where to go. She
has loads of people around her,
yet can’t figure out what to do
with them. This one’s in
desperate need of outside help.

we’re talking about “Tammy”
the movie, about which all of the
above descriptions are also true.
Especially the “mess” part. Oy.
Other recent comedies have been
described as elongated “Saturday
Night Live” skits, but it’s
especially apt here, and not just
because McCarthy and Falcone,
who also directs, are veteran
improv performers. Exaggerated
characters, some wacky side
plots, a couple of famous faces
sprinkled in, and you’re off.
Some of it’s good, some terrible,
but you keep it all, ‘cause, hey,
why not? It’s a comedy sketch.
Only this is a much anticipated,
heavily promoted feature-length
film, and as such, it can only be
deemed an unfortunate, though
ambitious and intermittently
enjoyable, misfire for McCarthy,
so adorably entertaining in better
movies like “Bridesmaids” and
“The Heat.” Part of the problem
is miscasting. “Tammy” is full
of name actors: Susan Sarandon,
Allison Janney, Toni Collette,
Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Dan
Akyroyd. Most are misused.
(Bates is a happy exception.)
Most glaring of all: Sarandon
plays Tammy’s doddering
grandmother, Pearl, with whom
Tammy goes on a femalebonding road trip (yes, obvious
echoes of “Thelma and
Louise”). Give her credit for
trying, but really, Sarandon as a
doddering grandma? It still
might have worked if these two
actresses had the comic
chemistry (or the script) that
made us laugh at the rowdy
McCarthy teaming with the
uptight Sandra Bullock in “The
Heat.” No heat here, alas. HH
Earth To Echo (Adventure, G,
89 minutes). Tuck, Munch and
Alex are a closely bonded trio of
inseparable friends, but their time
together is coming to an end.
Their neighbourhood is being
destroyed by a highway
construction project that is
forcing their families to move
away. But just two days before
they must part ways, the boys
find a cryptic signal has infected
their phones. Convinced
something bigger is going on and
looking for one final adventure
together, they set off to trace the
messages to their source and
discover something beyond their
wildest imaginations: hiding in
the darkness is a mysterious
being, stranded on Earth, and
wanted by the government. This
launches the boys on an epic
journey, one that will test the
limits of their friendship and
change all of their lives forever.
Not reviewed by The Associated
Press.
Jersey Boys (Drama, PG, 134
minutes). You don’t have to be
middle-aged, or even an adult,
to know songs like “Sherry,”
“Big Girls Don’t Cry” and
“Walk Like a Man.” Sure,
they’re ’60s-era hits by The Four
Seasons, but they’ve become
such pop culture fixtures that
even youngsters who’ve never
heard the name Frankie Valli
could surely croon a few bars in
his signature falsetto. It’s little
wonder that the stage musical
“Jersey Boys” has become one
of the most successful shows in
Broadway history on the
strength of those sublimely
catchy tunes. And it’s also little
wonder that the prospect of
bringing the show to the screen
appealed to Clint Eastwood,
who at 84 is still, blessedly, up
for challenges. What’s rather
curious, though, is that with all
the talent involved — not only
Eastwood as director, but an
excellent cast plucked from
“Jersey Boys” stage regulars —
the film is distinctly uneven,
hugely appealing at times and
oddly pedestrian, even cheesy,
at others. HH1/2
How To Train Your Dragon
2 (3D Animated, PG, 102
minutes). You thought it was
tricky to train a dragon? It’s even
trickier to take a much-admired
animated film and make a
sequel that feels satisfying and
worthwhile. And it’s harder still
to balance the competing needs
of stretching the story in new
directions but retaining the
guiding spirit of the original
enough to make fans happy. It’s
nice to be able to report that
“How to Train Your Dragon 2”

Some alien clonks us over the

“Edge of Tomorrow,” in which
Tom Cruise plays an officer who
continually relives a day of
combat against extraterrestrials,
probably isn’t a commentary on
the repetitiveness of today’s
blockbusters. Cruise dies dozens
of times over and over, often in
comical ways. Does this sound
like a great movie, or what?
HHH
The Fault In Our Stars
(Drama, PG, 125 minutes). Let’s
start with the obvious. For its
core audience, “The Fault in Our
Stars” is essentially critic-proof.
If you’re a fan of the wildly
popular young-adult book by
John Green, and have already
shed tears at its story of teenage
cancer patients learning about
life, love and sex as they fight to
stay alive, then you’ll be a fan of
this movie. “The Fault in Our
Stars” is, despite the occasional
misstep in tone, largely a solid
success — a film that not only
manages the transition from
page to screen nicely, but also
navigates with skill that hugely
tricky line between the touching
and the trite, the moving and the
maudlin. And that latter task
ain’t easy. But there’s one major
reason that the movie succeeds
in this regard. Her name is
Shailene Woodley. HHH

‘Warren United’ based on senior’s love of soccer
TORONTO — Canadian Bill Freedman
has been in show business “forever” but at
84 he’s debuting his first animated sitcom.
“Warren United” — a series about a
soccer-crazed family man — premiered in
Canada on BiteTV last month and
Freedman said it was a slow labour of love,
taking eight years to come to fruition.
Choosing animation for the show
stretched the release date but Freedman
said it allowed time for Canadians to get
more familiar with soccer, especially with
the introduction of Major League Soccer
teams in Toronto, Vancouver and
Montreal. Canada’s passion for the game
is especially obvious now during the World
Cup but the show was still a tough concept
to sell in this country, Freedman said.
3 charged
in death on
‘Midnight
Rider’ set
SAVANNAH, Ga. — The
director of a movie about
singer Gregg Allman and two
other executives on the project
were indicted Thursday on
felony charges stemming from
a fatal crash in which a freight
train plowed into the film’s
crew in southeast Georgia.
A grand jury in rural Wayne
County returned charges of
involuntary manslaughter and
criminal trespassing against
“Midnight Rider” director
Randall Miller as well as his
wife and business partner, Jody
Savin, and the film’s executive
producer, Jay Sedrish.
If convicted, the filmmakers
each could face up to 11 years
in prison for the Feb. 20 death
of Sarah Jones. The 27-yearold camera assistant from
Atlanta was killed and six other
crew members were struck by
a train while shooting footage
on a railroad bridge spanning
the Altamaha River southwest
of Savannah.
» The Associated Press
“The CBC turned us down because they
said no one in Canada is interested in
soccer, which I still think is really funny,”
he said in a phone interview from Ventura,
Calif. “They liked the idea (but asked) why
we didn’t do it for hockey.”
Freedman himself didn’t watch much
sport beyond hockey and baseball until
leaving Canada 50 years ago to produce
theatre in London. He credits his late friend
Eli Wallach for his obsession with the
English Premier League team Arsenal FC.
While at dinner with the actor, who was
fresh off the release of the “Magnificent
Seven,” Freedman’s wife suggested he get
into local sports. The restaurateur, eager
to impress Wallach, offered Freedman four
Arsenal season tickets.
“I’ve been hooked ever since,” said
Freedman.
“Warren United” portrays a typical
lower-middle class Londoner whose world
is “football and family,” said Freedman.
The show is based on his own “insane”
love for the game and how it brings his
family together — his three children and
all but one of his seven grandchildren are
also loyal Arsenal fans.
The show is produced by Toronto-based
Smiley Guy Studios and London-based
Baby Cow Animations, giving Freedman
his first opportunity since 1979 to work in
Canada, which he said has been a “real
pleasure.”

Province preps for major
change to Hydro duties
WINNIPEG — The Public
Utilities Board has taken a page
from the province’s past by
recommending
Manitoba
Hydro’s role in managing
energy efficiency programs be
removed.
The PUB made the
recommendation in a sweeping
report released Wednesday that
examined the Crown utility’s
plan to build the Keeyask and
Conawapa generating stations
and a new transmission line to
the United States.
In giving its blessing to only
the Keeyask dam and the
transmission line, the PUB said
Hydro should be divested of its
energy efficiency or demandside management (DSM)
responsibilities and that a new
“entity” be created by the
Selinger government to set and
measure targets annually for
Manitobans to conserve power.
The PUB found there was no
business case yet for
Conawapa.
“The panel concludes that
there is an inherent conflict in
Manitoba Hydro being both a
seller of electricity and a
purveyor of energy efficiency
measures,” the PUB said in its
306-page report. “Residential,
business and especially lowerincome customers often need
to be ‘sold’ on DSM. Programs
and information need to be
provided in a manner that
speaks to them directly, and in
a clear and convincing
manner.”
Hydro
Minister
Stan
Struthers said the government
accepted
the
PUB’s
recommendation and will
begin work soon with Hydro to
strip it of its DSM duties.
“We’ll investigate over the
next few months the best
delivery mechanism for that,”
Struthers said.
A blueprint for such a
“delivery mechanism” exists
under the province’s 2012
Energy Savings Act. It requires
Hydro to consult with
government in developing its
efficiency plans.
Included in the PUB’s
recommendation is for the
government to treat energy
efficiency as a stand-alone
resource in a more integrated
plan by Hydro to supply
Manitobans with electricity in
the coming decades. In other
words, the PUB said energy
efficiency must be treated
equally regarding hydropower,
wind, solar, gas generation or
other technologies — and that
it should be done before any
more money is spent on
Conawapa or any other
generating plant.
“By failing to offer an
analysis of conservation
measures as a stand-alone
energy resource competitive
with
other
generation
resources, Manitoba Hydro
presented an analysis of
conservation measures that
was neither complete, accurate,
thorough, reasonable, nor
sound,” the PUB said.
The move by the PUB was
welcomed by the Manitoba
branch of the Consumers’
Association of Canada, one of
several intervenors in a threemonth public hearing leading
up to the PUB’s report.
“There’s a powerful message
in this report that energy
efficiency can defer the need for
Conawapa,” CAC lawyer
Byron Williams said. “Giving
a fair shot to energy efficiency,
wind and solar is critical and
it’s consistent with what’s going
on in modern jurisdictions.”
The move to have someone
else
administer
energy
efficiency programs, including
Power Smart initiatives now
handled by Hydro, is not new
to Manitoba or to what
currently happens in provinces
like British Columbia, Nova
Scotia and states like
Massachusetts, Vermont and
Minnesota.
Each
has
significantly higher planned
efficiency
targets
than
Manitoba.
Before Hydro took over
setting energy efficiency targets
in the mid-1990s, that work
was one of the responsibilities
of the former Manitoba Energy
Authority. The MEA was
created by the Progressive
Conservative government of
Sterling Lyon in the early 1980s
in response to a governmentordered report by Justice
George Tritschler. The report
examined Hydro’s operations
and cost overruns on the Long
Spruce and Jenpeg dams, built
in the 1970s under the NDP
government of Ed Schreyer.

Texas man blames turtle, cat,
squirrel and tree for crash
BRYAN, Texas — Police say a man arrested
for drunken driving blamed a turtle, a cat, a
squirrel and an overhanging tree in a Central
Texas wreck.
When police arrived at the scene just
southeast of College Station on Tuesday, the
33-year-old slurring driver was still in his seat
and unaware of his location.
A witness told officers the driver passed him
on the right shoulder, hit a guardrail, left the
road and struck a tree.
The Eagle of Bryan-College Station reports
the North Zulch man told officers he swerved
to avoid the critters and hit the tree.
Police didn’t buy the explanation and charged
the man with drunken driving.
Records show it’s his second such arrest, and
he could face a year in jail. He’s free on $7,500
bond.

Top coach tutors Games hopefuls
BY CHRIS JASTER
Tori Thiessen and other
Skate Brandon figure skaters
have dreams of representing
Manitoba and winning medals
at the 2015 Canada Winter
Games, and their on-ice session
at Kinsmen Arena on
Thursday may help them reach
those goals.
Christy Krall, the 2013
Professional
Skating
Association coach of the year,
and Erik Schulz, a respected
jump coach, came to the
Wheat City to work with 11 of
the Skate Brandon competitors
who are on Manitoba’s Canada
Games selection team. Each
skater had one-on-one and
group sessions throughout the
day.
Skate Manitoba brought in
the two high-end coaches —
Krall has coached Patrick
Chan to world championships
— to help improve its skaters,
and Tori Thiessen, who won
gold at provincials and the
Manitoba Games this winter,
feels they have done just that.
“I think it’s important
because it helps you improve
that much more and gives you
more feedback,” she said. “We
have Tammy (McKay, Skate
Brandon’s head coach), but it
gives you more and it helps you
improve that much more so
you can have a better season.”
Krall brought new teaching
techniques with her. Her goal
was for the skaters to see what
needs to be improved, do what
needs to be improved in a safe

environment and then do it.
She accomplishes it with
DartFish software that allows
her to record video of the
skaters doing their jumps and
comparing side-by-side or
overlapping it with other
skaters to go over fine
technique points.
They also had a harness that
allowed skaters to try different
techniques without falling
before they tried them on their
own.
Krall, a former world and
Olympic team member and
coach, was impressed with
what she saw from the
here. These guys are all moving
up to the novice and junior
level, which is a thrill for them.
I think they’ve done a great job
in this rink to bring in real
specialists to teach them the
modes of the best jumping
technique there is. That’s why
we’re here and why they’ll have
a great summer and work hard
on all these tricks.”

selection
team
members in Winnipeg on the
weekend before hosting a twoday seminar.
They have worked before
with a few Skate Brandon
competitors in the United
States, like Thiessen, and the
14-year-old Brandonite enjoys
the experience.
“I’m familiar with it because
I went down for a week this
year to train,” she said. “It was
a catch-up and I went a month
ago, so it’s nice to see her again
and just get the same feedback
and stuff from her and Erik.”
Thiessen has dreams of
standing on top of the podium
at the Canada Games and
knows it will take a lot of work
to get there. Her time with
Krall and Schulz may keep her
on the right track, and she’s
also gained a couple new
supporters in the process.

Bombers start season 2-0
BY SCOTT EDMONDS
WINNIPEG — Running
back Nic Grigsby’s three
touchdowns gave the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers a come-frombehind 36-28 win over the
Ottawa Redblacks Thursday,
spoiling the expansion team’s
CFL debut.
Demond Washington’s 96yard kick return for a thirdquarter touchdown was also
huge for the 2-0 Bombers, who
trailed for most of the game.
With three first-quarter
touchdowns, the Redblacks
jumped into an early lead. But
after that, the Bomber defence
pretty well shut them down for
most of the game.
Quarterback Drew Willy and

until Grigsby gave them their
first lead at 12:28 of the final
quarter with his third
touchdown.
The game marked the return
of Ottawa to the league it left
in 2006 due to money troubles.
That, plus Winnipeg’s win in
its season opener, put a few
more fans in the seats with a
count of 27,553 and they were
deafening when the Redblacks
had the ball.
Running back Chevon
Walker justified the pre-season
hype he received with two
Ottawa touchdowns and
Dobson Collins had the other.
Brett Maher had two field goals
and a single on a miss.
Lirim Hajrullahu had three
field goals for the Bombers.
Unlike last week, when they
opened their season against the

no early Bomber scoring drive.
Willy went two and out.
Instead,
Burris
took
advantage of midfield position
on his first possession to set up
Ottawa’s first touchdown on a
four-yard run by Walker to
make it 7-0.
He followed it about two
minutes later with a 58-second
drive and 26-yard pass to
Collins and the Redblacks took
a 14-0 lead. To that point, the
Bomber offence had been stuck
on its own half of the field.
Willy finally connected with
Nick Moore for 51 yards to get
in scoring range on a six-play
73-yard drive with about four
minutes left in the first. Grigsby
carried it the last yard to get the
Bombers on the board.

LONDON — Canada’s
Eugenie Bouchard stumbled in
her first two Grand Slam
semifinal appearances this year.
The third time proved to be
the charm Thursday at the All
England Tennis Club.
Bouchard beat Romania’s
Simona Halep 7-6 (5), 6-2 to
become the first Canadian to
advance to the women’s singles
final at Wimbledon. It was the
latest achievement in what has
already been a historic run for
Bouchard at the sport’s most
prestigious event.
“After doing well in the past
few Slams, I’ve been believing
since the beginning of the
tournament that I can do really
well,” she said. “I’m just trying
to take it one match at a time.
It’s really important not to get
ahead of ourselves.
“I totally feel like I belong,
and I’m just so excited for the
next match.”
The 13th-seeded Bouchard,
who converted her sixth match
point to complete the 94minute victory, will next face
sixth-seeded Petra Kvitova on
Saturday.
Kvitova,
the
2011
Wimbledon champion, beat
fellow Czech left-hander Lucie
Safarova 7-6 (6), 6-1 in the early
semifinal.
Bouchard lost in the
semifinals at the year’s two
previous majors, the Australian
Open and French Open.
She’s projected to rise to
No.7 — the highest ranking for
a Canadian woman — by
reaching the final and would
go to No.6 by winning the
championship.

Neelin Spartans graduate Courtney Matienzo is headed to Mayville State University in North Dakota to play softball in the fall. She is
one of 11 Neelin athletes who will compete in sports at a post-secondary level next season. (File)
Mayville lands Matienzo
BY CHRIS JASTER
The list of graduating
students from Neelin high
school going on to continue
their athletic careers at postsecondary institutions just
keeps on growing with
Courtney Matienzo joining the
bumper crop.
The 18-year-old Brandonite
is heading south of the border
to play softball with the
Mayville State University
Comets. Although she played
basketball, badminton and
softball with the Spartans,
Matienzo decided she wanted
to stay on the diamond and it
didn’t take long for her to fall
in love with the campus in
Mayville, N.D.
“Right when I got there, it
was exactly like Neelin, same
atmosphere and small,” she
said. “The coach was really
nice and everyone was kind of
the same.”
Mayville State is a school
with about 1,000 students and
has a softball team that
struggled last season. The
Comets went 2-12 in the
NAIA’s North Star conference
and 4-24 overall under first-year
head coach Ashley VandeVeen,
who is Canadian.
Matienzo, however, was
impressed with VandeVeen and
is looking forward to playing
under a different coach. That’s
why the 5-foot-5 third
baseman, who has been with
the Westman Magic since
playing under-12 ball, joined
the Manitoba Angels this
summer, and she’s looking for
more advice in the college
ranks next season as well.
“Pretty much the experience
of being away from home,
playing at the university level
of sports and playing for
different coaches since I’ve had
the same for years,” she said
about why she’s looking
forward to going to Mayville
State. “She’s a hard coach like
(Neelin basketball coach Don)
Thomson. Thomson has
taught me and if I’m doing
something wrong he’ll address
it to me and I won’t get
emotional about it. I think
she’ll be the same kind of
coach he is and it will help me
be tough.”
Matienzo will study applied
psychology as a backup plan,
but she hopes to join the
RCMP in the future.

Bouchard, a 20-year-old
from Westmount, Que., has yet
to lose a set in her six matches
so far at Wimbledon. No
Canadian had ever reached the
women’s singles quarter-finals
here in the Open era — never
mind the final — before
Bouchard.
“To get to my first Grand
Slam final, it’s very exciting. It’s
what I’ve worked so long for,
you know,” Bouchard said. “So
I’m just proud of myself for
today’s effort.”
There could be a Canadian
in the men’s singles final as
well. Milos Raonic of
Thornhill, Ont., will take on
Switzerland’s Roger Federer
today with a berth in Sunday’s
championship on the line.
This is uncharted territory for
Canadian tennis.
Before this tournament, no
Canadian had ever reached a
men’s or women’s Grand Slam
singles final, according to
Tennis Canada. The last
Canadian to reach a singles
semifinal at a major was Robert
Powell at Wimbledon in 1908,

BY STEPHEN WHYNO
TORONTO — The Toronto
Maple Leafs have signed
forwards Mike Santorelli and
Petri Kontiola to one-year
contracts.
Santorelli’s deal is worth
US$1.5 million, according to
an NHL source. The 28-yearold spent last season with the
Vancouver Canucks.
Kontiola will reportedly
make $1.1 million. His agent,
Mark Gandler, confirmed the
one-year contract and said the
Finnish centre had to pay
20 million Russian rubles —
roughly C$620,297 — to get
out of the final season of his
Kontinental Hockey League
deal.

New deal for Nowitzki
Dirk Nowitzki and the

on what could be the final
contract for the big German.
A person with knowledge of
the deal told The Associated
Press on Thursday that
Nowitzki would get a threeyear contract worth roughly
$30 million. The person spoke
on condition of anonymity
because the deal has not been
announced.
New contracts can’t be
signed until next Thursday.
The 36-year-old Nowitzki is
taking a big pay cut with a
contract similar in value and
structure to the one Tim
Duncan signed with San
Antonio two years ago.
Duncan, who also took a
much lower salary, is exercising
a player option to return for the
final season of his deal after

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
— A European presence in the
World Cup semifinals is
assured as Germany and
France meet at the Maracana
today, looking to shrug off
stumbling wins in the second
round that exposed frailties in
both teams.
Contesting a quarter-final for
the ninth straight World Cup,
the Germans will start as slight
favourites because of their vast
experience
in
major
tournaments but with doubts
surrounding a slow, porous
defence that was breached
repeatedly in the 2-1 extra-time
victory over Algeria on
Monday.
If goalkeeper Manuel Neuer
hadn’t produced the kind of
sweeper display that German
greats Franz Beckenbauer and
Lothar Matthaus would have
been proud of, Joachim Loew’s
side could have been on the end
of a real shock. The French
also left it late in the last 16,
scoring twice in the final 11
minutes to beat Nigeria 2-0 in
a gritty performance that failed
to match the swashbuckling
attacking exhibitions they put
on in the group stage.
France was thrust among the
tournament favourites after
scoring a combined eight goals
against Switzerland and
Honduras.
Yet,
Didier
Deschamps’ inexperienced
team played within themselves
against Nigeria, perhaps
struggling under the weight of
lofty expectations.
Deschamps counts France as
the underdog.
“Don’t forget that in the last
two competitions, Germany
has reached the semifinals so it
counts for something,” he said,
referring to the 2010 World
Cup and the European
Championship in 2012.

Brazil feeling the heat
BY TALES AZZONI
TERESOPOLIS, Brazil —
Brazil and Colombia enter the
World Cup quarter-finals with
totally different mindsets.
Brazil is surrounded by
doubts after a more difficult
start than expected to the
soccer tournament it is hosting.
Colombia is upbeat after
convincing performances and
four straight wins.
While the hosts narrowly
beat Chile in a penalty
shootout to avoid elimination
in the second round, the
Colombians had a convincing
2-0 win over Uruguay to reach
the quarters for the first time.
The South American rivals
play today in the northeastern
city of Fortaleza, with Brazil
hoping to keep alive its quest
for a sixth World Cup title and
Colombia aiming to extend its
best ever run in football’s
showcase event.
Despite its tradition and
home-field advantage, Brazil is
far from a big favourite. An
uncomfortable opening win
over Croatia, a draw with
Mexico and a win over
Cameroon in the group stage
preceded the tight knockout
match against Chile, when
Brazil advanced on penalties.
“It’s normal to have people
demanding that we play
better,” Brazil coach Luiz
Felipe Scolari said. “But it’s
also normal what we have been
seeing in this World Cup so far.
There were a lot of even
matches. There is no difference
between teams that have
tradition and world titles and
the rest of the teams. Matches
are being decided on penalties,
in the final minutes, on
mistakes.”
Colombia has won all of its
matches without any real
difficulty, thanks in part to the
tournament’s
second-best
attack with 11 goals, one less
than the Netherlands. It also
has a strong defence with only
two goals conceded. Brazil,
meanwhile, has scored eight
goals and conceded three.
“We’re very happy because
we are making history,” said
Colombia midfielder James
Rodriguez, the tournament’s
leading scorer with five goals.
“We want to do even more
because this is a team that
really wants to win.”
Colombia has beaten Brazil
only twice — the last time in
the 1991 Copa America — but
the teams have drawn the last
four matches they played,
including in a 2012 friendly in
New York.

HOROSCOPES
WRITTEN BY
HOLIDAY MATHIS
FOR FRIDAY, JULY 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like being around smart people,
but you value objectivity and originality more than book smarts.
Therefore, you gravitate to the creatively endowed and fit in
wonderfully.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People like to talk to you because
you’re an empathetic listener, although you don’t necessarily want
to hear all that they come out with today. At least they feel safe
around you and you can take that as a compliment.
DILBERT
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s as though two paths converge
and you’re both in each other’s way. Neither person is right. Neither
person is wrong. But for this blockage to be released, someone has
to move.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like a hot-air balloon, you will
rise to new heights once you get rid of a few sandbags filled with
unreasonable expectations, old baggage and resentments.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It will be particularly difficult to see
people for who they are because you can’t help but be blinded by
the possibilities of what they might be able to do for you.
GARFIELD
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). To be an excellent teacher you must
communicate clearly, and not only the information and skills you
want to impart, but also the structure in which you want to impart
it. Make your expectations known. Accountability will be key.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re attempting to resist a natural
attraction, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Out of sight, out of
mind is the best way. In time, you’ll slip out of the thought habit
that’s gripping you now.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This is the long and winding stretch
that fools you at every turn. You’ll have success if you keep your
course. Reaffirm your goal. Say it out loud in the mirror or write
it a few times in a journal.
POOCH CAFE
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People want to give you
advice, but the best advice will be an inside message sent from your
heart to your head. You already know what to do. The next step is
summoning the courage.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know how a certain
someone’s name keeps coming up in conversation? It’s because
this person is on your mind all of the time. Your conversation can’t
help but follow your mind.
SHERMAN’S LAGOON
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Making a strong positive
impression when you first meet a person is so important now. All
future interactions will be coloured by someone’s initial response
to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The one who requires zero
validation from you is the one you most approve of. You can apply
this principle in reverse. You’ll earn someone’s affection by not
caring whether you get it.
CROSSWORD
EDITED BY
WAYNE ROBERT WILLIAMS
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 4). You don’t seek fame, but
because you love what you are doing, you will become well
known for it. You’ll sell something for top dollar in August. You
will be entrusted with a large responsibility in September, and
you’ll be in a position to choose the right associations and
arrangements to handle the situation. Gemini and Scorpio people
adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 1, 22, 48 and 25.

I pushed
him into a
divorce, but
his ex won’t
go away
Dear Annie: Twenty-eight years ago,
I was married with three children. We
moved to a small city and met “Jane
and Doug” and their children. Jane and
I became instant friends, and our
children played together.
Jane began an affair with some guy
she met at work, and at the same time,
I became enthralled with Doug. I
convinced Jane that she would be
happier if she divorced, even though I
knew Doug didn’t want that.
Nonetheless, we all divorced and I
moved in with Doug.
Ten years ago, Jane convinced her
two sons to move back home and work
for their father’s company. Jane then left
her boyfriend of 15 years and moved
into her son’s home. This is when my
nightmare began.
Doug and I are members of a social
club. Doug’s sons joined the club and
then Jane joined so she could spend
time with her sons. She invaded our
lives. She is there whenever we are,
sitting at the same table, playing pool,
etc., and dancing with Doug. Jane and
I do not speak. My daughter told her to
get a life of her own, but she says this
is her only family and she has nothing
else.
Jane is quite attractive, but won’t date
anyone. Doug feels sorry for her and
obviously enjoys her attention. I know
she holds a grudge against me for
stealing her husband.
I do not enjoy the club anymore. I’ve
tried not going, but that plays right into
Jane’s hands. So I continue to go with
Doug. He knows how much this hurts
me, but he will not be rude to Jane or
tell her to go away. I’ve considered
giving him an ultimatum, but I don’t
want to take the chance of losing him
after 28 years. I really love him.
Is there any way to resolve this? —
Unhappy and Frustrated
Dear Unhappy: Some folks may see
this as divine justice, but no one in this
scenario is innocent. Nonetheless, you
pushed Doug to get a divorce he didn’t
want, which means he may still have
unresolved feelings about Jane.
Please get counselling, preferably with
Doug, and see whether the two of you
can be honest enough to work this out.
Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old girl
with long hair that falls three inches past
my waist. It’s something that I really
like about myself. The problem is, the
parents of my friends always ask
whether I’m going to donate my hair to
Locks of Love. I don’t want to. I like
my hair the way it is and it makes me
feel guilty whenever someone brings it
up. I always end up saying something
like, “Maybe, I’m not sure,” which is a
lie, but I don’t want to appear selfish
and vain.
Next week, several classmates are
going to donate their hair and have
asked me to go with. What will they
think of me when I come into school
the next day with my hair intact? How
can I tell people I don’t want to donate
my hair without them thinking badly of
me? — Locks of Guilt
Dear Locks: There is no way to
control what your friends think, but you
should not feel pressured to do what
makes you uncomfortable. Simply say
that you are not ready to make this
commitment. And should you ever
reconsider, remember that hair grows
back, and the satisfaction you get from
knowing you have helped someone else
can make you feel wonderful.
Dear Annie: After reading the letter
from “Hurting Daughter-in-Law,”
whose in-laws inexplicably stopped
speaking to her and also cut off contact
with their 10-year-old grandson, I have
come to the conclusion that there are
a lot of weird people in the world. —
S.S.
Dear S.S.: You should see it from our
end.
